George Gordon of Milton of Noth married (I) a daughter of Oliphant of Berridale, widow of Calder of Asloun, and by her had (Rec. of Aboyne, p. 210) :

1. George, afterwards of Coclarachie.

2. James.

3. Bessie (see Note below). Probably this is the Bessie Gordon who married Laurence Leith of Kirkton of Rayne, from whom descend Leith-Hay of Leithhall (Burke's Landed Gentry Leith-Hay)."

from Coclarachie

Note:

Bessie Gordon was Laurence Leith's second wife, and the timeline of the Leiths suggests that she was the granddaughter, rather than the daughter of George Gordon and his first wife.
